This is the way and nature of Tao.

[leftyman]

The cup is easier to hold
when not filled to overflowing.

The blade is more effective
if not tempered beyond its mettle.

Gold and jade are easier to protect
if possessed in moderation.

He who seeks titles,
invites his own downfall.

The sage works quietly,
seeking neither praise nor fame;
completing what he does with natural ease,
and then retiring.

Duality is a great thing.
I have amalgamated a large portion of the Taoist teachings into my philosophical belief set.

Duality? Is that anything like Dual Channel?
